why would the tesla engineers commit terrorism like this
This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it’s sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.
I still can’t believe that 46k people are both that stupid and have 100k to spend.
. . . and have 100k to spend.
You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you’re dumb enough to do it.
I’m curious, does Tesla have its own financing division that gives out these loans?
They do.
That’s still over $1000 a month to buy a fucking car
the vast majority of them i see around my area have branding decals plastered all over them. no doubt they are being used as a business expense or some other dumb shit.
A van would be so much better for advertising. Much more space to put a logo and text plus it’s higher up and therefor more easily visible.
You could put a blinking neon light ad all over the entire night sky, but if someone farted, you would still look around and ask “who farted?”.
The Tesla is so stupid ugly that it attracts attention the same way.
It really is a metaphor for the current state of America.
That’s because Tesla is a data collection company, not a car manufacturer 😂
A little over a year ago, a guy tried to ask me out and I’m the process said a few dumb things in an attempt to impress me. The dumbest of them all was that he was planning to buy a Cybertruck as his next vehicle. By the time he’d said this, I’d already long made up my mind about this guy. Mind, this was the period of time when Elon was just an asshole and hadn’t gone full Nazi yet, but even then, this dude’s choice of vehicle told me I’d made the right choice.
Theseadays I wonder if that guy ever got his idiot truck, and, whether he did or not, if he’s changed his mind about it.
It’s 18 months old and falling apart, literally.
Between this and the door falling off a Boeing airplane, not so sure we should be all hot to make everything in 'merica 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boeing (and McDonnell Douglas before them) actually made good planes when engineers ran the show. Then, the finance bros took over.
Worth noting that both of these companies have essentially blank checks from the government and use it as a funnel for taxpayers to shareholders who then dont pay taxes. It’s a Ponzi scheme that just happens to make airplanes and shit people actually need.
But are too scared to nationalize.
Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.
Whislindiesel made short work of one of these cars, absolutely glorious
Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.
According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.
That is also what this article says.
Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.
Let’s hope they won’t cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?
Nono. Not bolts.
A. Bolt.
High speed wind hitting a car? A chance in a million!
The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”
Can I be added to the recall? 🥹
